Rhys Chatham
Album: The Bern Project
Label: Hintzimmer Records
An album of new Rhys Chatham tracks with band - something you haven't heard since the "Die Donnergötter" recordings of the 80s... Chatham on trumpet and electric guitar, three young swiss musicians on bass guitar, drums and trombone, plus a lot of studio trickery. More punk, noise and drones than you would expect from a new Rhys Chatham record.
